Product Details

These are the replacement pads for the Unplugged Performance Big Brake Kit on Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. If your UP BBK needs fresh friction material, this is the correct part. Manufactured by PFC Brakes, a premier motorsport supplier known for consistent torque, low taper wear, and excellent heat control, these pads restore the performance envelope your kit was designed to deliver. They are made specifically for the UP Model 3/Y BBK calipers and are not intended for use with factory Tesla calipers or rotors. If you are looking for brake pads for your stock brake calipers you can find them here.

Purpose and fitment

The UP BBK is engineered to handle the weight, regenerative braking interaction, and thermal load unique to the Model 3/Y platform. These PFC pads match the caliper shape and rotor sweep of the kit, ensuring full pad contact, proper release, and predictable modulation. If your Model 3/Y is equipped with the Unplugged Performance Big Brake Kit, these pads are the direct replacement you need. They maintain caliper clearances, anti-rattle provisions, and overall system balance. Select front, rear, or a full vehicle set according to your service plan.

Why PFC

PFC Brakes is widely regarded for friction stability across a broad temperature window, repeatable pedal feel, and durable backing plate construction. On an EV where added mass and frequent energy recovery create unique duty cycles, pad stability matters. PFC pad formulations are chosen for the UP BBK to deliver strong initial bite, linear torque build, and high fade resistance while keeping wear rates in check. The result is confident braking on spirited drives, mountain descents, performance events, and daily commuting.

When to use these pads

Choose these pads when:

  • Pad thickness approaches the kit’s service limit.
  • You notice reduced bite, longer stopping distances, or elevated pedal effort.
  • You are preparing for a track day and want fresh friction to protect rotors and maintain consistency.
  • You routinely drive in hilly terrain, carry heavy loads, or run high-grip tires that increase braking demand.

Installation, Fluid, and Bedding

  • Professional installation is recommended.
  • Perform a complete brake fluid flush during pad service for best pedal feel and heat capacity.
  • You or your installer will need to supply a high temperature capable brake fluid such as Motul 700 or Endless 650.
  • Inspect rotors for thickness, surface condition, and runout.
  • Clean and lubricate pad contact points per manufacturer guidance.
  • Confirm pad orientation and hardware fit, then torque fasteners to spec.
  • Bed the pads properly to establish a uniform transfer layer.
  • Perform a series of controlled medium to firm stops followed by adequate cooling.
  • Avoid sitting stationary with hot brakes immediately after bedding.

Not for factory calipers

These pads are shaped for UP BBK calipers and do not fit OEM Tesla Model 3/Y calipers or rotors. If you have the standard caliper setup and want a friction upgrade, choose our UP x PFC pads for the factory brake system. We offer two paths for those applications: Street & Track pads for spirited driving without excessive noise or dust, and Race & Competition pads for dedicated track use where maximum friction and heat capacity are paramount.

Support

If you are unsure which axle set you need, or you want guidance on service intervals, bedding procedures, or fluid recommendations, our team can help. Keep your UP Big Brake Kit performing at its best with the correct PFC replacement pads designed specifically for your Model 3.

      Frequently Asked Questions - F.A.Q.
      Everything you need to know about this product before you buy.

      Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?

      Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.

      What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?

      Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.

      This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.

      To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.

      Will Tesla void my warranty if I install aftermarket parts?

      A vehicle’s comprehensive warranty as a whole may not be voided due to use of aftermarket parts per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts). However, a manufacturer may require a customer to pay for parts and labor for a repair if there is direct causation between a customer’s alteration and the product or service repair being requested. It is in both manufacturer and customer’s interest to follow logic and reason so that the system of good faith is not abused. If this topic interests you please read the law as well as your warranty documentation. Ultimately we are Tesla owners and enthusiasts, we are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice.

      How can I find a dealer or authorized installer near me?

      To find authorized installers or retailers of Unplugged Performance products in your area, please use the form on our website to provide your location details. This will help us connect you with an authorized installer nearby. You can find the form here.

      Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window. International shipping is available to most countries, with shipping costs calculated at checkout. Delivery times abroad vary, generally ranging from 5 to 16 business days depending on destination. Import duties or taxes are the customer’s responsibility. To ensure a smooth shipping experience, provide accurate contact information during checkout. For specific questions or shipping quotes, Unplugged Performance’s support team is available to assist.

      Do you offer international shipping?

      Yes, Unplugged Performance ships to customers worldwide with no restrictions on destination countries. Whether you live in Canada, Europe, Australia, or elsewhere, we can deliver your order directly to your doorstep. We do not charge any additional fees or convenience charges for international payment processing—what you see at checkout is what you pay. Shipping times vary depending on the destination and customs processing, typically ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Please note that customers are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or customs fees imposed by their country, which are separate from our charges. Orders are processed in the order received, and while made-to-order items cannot be refunded once production begins, defective or damaged shipments are eligible for exchange.
